 | The Global Skills MatrixThe Global Skills Matrix is a globally recognised framework for administrators and HR teams that, irrespective of country, makes it possible to identify levels of work for a given role and career progression opportunities to realise the potential to an organisation of an effective administrator.
The GSM is a game changer for an industry that is currently seen by many as ‘just a job’ and not the valuable profession that it is. It is the first global guideline that has been produced with direct and quantifiable input from the people who are at the sharp end of the profession, the administrative professionals themselves. There has never been a more important time for organisations to utilise their administrators to their full potential. A career administrator with clear goals and objectives, combined with opportunities for personal development and career progression is a key component for achieving this.

Details to come. WA-Alliance and the Summit 2024 hosts appreciate that not all participants will be able to travel to New Zealand, so are giving you the opportunity to join in the Summit Discussion groups in an online session.
